Examined differences in satisfaction with counseling between clients (N=52) who initiated termination of treatment without discussing termination with their counselors and clients (N=146) who mutually planned termination with counselors. Results revealed that nonmutual terminators perceived counseling less positively and reported different reasons for terminating than did clients who mutually terminated. (Author/NB)
